GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about car detailing quotes, bookings, payments and using DetailLink in Edmonton.
For customers
Is requesting quotes free?
Yes. Submitting a request is free and there is no obligation to accept any offer.
Will I always receive three quotes?
No. The number of offers depends on real participating detailers, their services and availability. A request may receive fewer offers or none.
Can I compare more than three offers?
All received offers remain available. The comparison view shows up to three selected offers at once; you may swap which three you compare.
Do I need an account?
The marketplace allows guest quote requests. Guest access is retained in the browser that submitted the request. Signed-in accounts can keep their owned requests together.
What happens if I lose my guest access?
On your guest request page, copy the private recovery key and keep it safe. You can enter it on Restore guest access from a new browser. If you did not save your key and have lost the original browser, email-based recovery is not available.
Does accepting a quote confirm my appointment?
No. It creates a pending booking. The detailer proposes the appointment and you approve the time.
How do I pay?
Payment is arranged directly with the independent business. DetailLink does not process deposits, job payments or refunds.
For detailers
Can I join during the pilot?
Yes. Eligible Edmonton-area independent detailers can create a profile and review matching customer leads. Participation is subject to the platform rules.
Do I have to quote every lead?
No. You choose which suitable requests to quote and set your own prices and inclusions.
Is there a lead fee or subscription?
The current pilot has no DetailLink lead fee or subscription charge. Future commercial pricing has not been announced.
Does DetailLink verify every detailer?
No. Account registration does not equal an independent licence, insurance or identity check. Any displayed verification indicator has a limited administrative meaning described in our Trust & Safety page.
Support and account questions
Will I receive reminder emails or texts?
Not yet. Booking changes appear inside the app, but automated outbound reminders are not connected.
Can I cancel?
Customers can cancel pending or confirmed bookings in the request view. See our Cancellation Policy and confirm any provider-specific deposit terms directly.
